Errors during update install

[Robert Wilkes]

During this week's update install (and it's happened in the past, but I ignored it) I get "File access is denied" errors for:

Thor_Update_AutomatedBuild.prg

Thor_Update_Bin2Text.prg

Thor_Update_CodeAnalyst.prg

Thor_Update_CodeReferences.prg

Thor_Update_ControlRenamer.prg

and maybe a couple others.

When I've suspended the process, error occurs on 'Delete file'.

I've got Thor installed in a subfolder of VFP9.

It's not a good idea to put things in a subfolder of the VFP folder unless you've installed VFP somewhere other than the default of C:\Program Files (x86). That's because subfolders of that are read-only so virtualization is used and that leads to all kinds of problems.

OK. Thought it might be the issue.

So that begs the question:

Can I move Thor to another folder?

    If so, how...and do all my settings go along for the ride.

Or, more generically, How To Move Thor Files to a new Folder.

Good topic for an FAQ entry...I don't see anything already on file.

And maybe tweak the install instructions:
DON'T DO THAT!

You should be able to move the entire Thor folder and all subdirectories to any writable location you wish. All the settings are stored in various subdirectories.
